IDENTITY: EVEN THE DEAD GIVE UP THEIR SECRETS

by Sim Parsons, Rebecca Parsons (Illustrator)

Why is there a photograph of her in the dead man's attic? Young, ambitious journalist, Juno, is shocked when she discovers her photograph amongst an international photographer's possessions. Neither the exotic location, nor the other, intimidating figures are identifiable. So commences a quest that will determine not only her past, but also her future. 5,000 miles from home, amongst the volcanoes, jungles and ancient temples of Guatemala, Juno discovers a world of secrets and lies as her determined search for the photo's origin draws her into a deadly web of deceit. Her attempts to piece together the truth could have fatal consequences. Ancient Maya kingdoms, built on blood and sacrifice, have re-emerged. The malevolent gods of the underworld have been resurrected to spread death and depravity under the auspices of murderous drug cartels. And they want something from her. In this land of violence and vengeance she also finds intense passion, but who should she trust? Running out of time, she is forced to play one last fatal game. If it works the dead will give up their secrets.
